DC SEEMS TO GETTING THEIR ACT TOGETHER
Posted: 021520

A recent article in Variety took a hard look into the future of Warners’ films based on DC Comics heroes. Both Aquaman and Joker made over $1 billion each and Shazam was well received and made money. The first basic move is to make comic book movies for adults with the current R-rated Birds of Prey and James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Neither film is going to be dark or grim.  Matt Reeves’ The Batman is next up and Warners made it clear the film does not take place with the walls of Arkham Asylum. As for Superman even though Henry Cavill is eager to return nothing is set in stone. There have been rumors that Warners was talking to director J.J. Abrams, which he has denied and that Michael B. Jordan was in consideration for the title role so we aren’t going to see a new Superman film 2023 at the earliest. Geoff Johns’ script for Green Lantern Corps has supposedly been turned in or is about to but the film has no director since Rupert Wyatt passed on the film last summer. Ezra Miller is still set as The Flash with a script by Bumblebee’s Christina Hodson who is going to write the script for Batgirl shortly after. As for the Cyborg film there is no word on that film at all and it seems the project is dead. The former New Line executive/now DC Films president Walter Hamada has laid down the law with the edict of coming up with a great story and then staying within your budget. And for all you fans out there clamoring for it there are no plans for a Snyder cut of Justice League.
